RE: Oracle 10

Another large factor is weather or not all of the various application vendors involved support 10g. If you are using a commercial applications server (WebLogic, Websphere, etc.) other than Oracle Apps. 10g is probably not support.

Of course it's stable.  :-)

 

Well, did you expect anything else?  Seriously, if the downtime / testing
cycle that you need to undertake with an upgrade is an issue for you, I
would be inclined to skip 9i completely.  The fact that you can upgrade
direct from 8.1.7 to 10g and the extension of support for 8i till the end of
the year was done specifically to help you do that.  There are some
customers for whom it is a major problem to get agreement for an upgrade, so
if the product is stable and there's no compelling reason to move to 9i
(about the only one of which I can think of would be ISV support) then I
would go straight to 10g.

Curious on what the crowd feels about Version 10.

 

We are currently on 8.1.7.4.  When we upgrade, should we even worry about
Version 9 ?  Or just skip directly to the latest 10 ?   Is it stable ?  Any
major issues that folks are waiting on getting fixed ?

 

Thanks for any insight.

 

Kevin
